I'm in Playalinda lot 2.  Clear view of FH from my parking spot.
I am in lot three on the ramp to the beach. Clear view, bit hazy still but looks great.

Map distance is at 4 miles. Pretty good. Should be awesome!

In a hotel about a mile away from Jetty.  Guess I will make my way over to there or maybe Fishlips.

Parking at 401 is about 2/3 full as of 6:45.

How's 401 looking. I'm about 40 min away.

SR528 was already backed up to SR3 at 0830

Pretty much full. There's a couple cars parallel parked so maybe you can get one of them to free up space. Police is keeping an eye out as well so they might not let you in. Plenty of space if you walk in though.

Fishlips opening early once staff gets here. More and more cars arriving.

12 so far. No idea how many people upstairs holds for the viewing.

401 is looking good, just ask one of the many Base or Port security personnel in the area where to park and they'll help you out.

Go Searcher is back in port, just across from Fishlips.  You can take a look, maybe see if one of the crew drops by for a bite. ;)

Playalinda is full. No more cars allowed.

Any idea about pedestrians?  If it scrubs until tomorrow (and I can thus make it down there) I'm thinking about making the ~12 mile walk from Titusville, and trying to hitch a ride back.

They were turning away pedestrians from Jetty Park around 10:30am so I can see them doing the same there, too.
